What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Mo' Joe
“Physically, the Mo’ Joe feels very much like the modern DiMarzio standard: clean build quality, tight bobbin alignment, smooth legwork, and consistent winding.”
“The lows stay punchy, the mids remain broad and vocal, and the highs cut clearly without becoming harsh.”
On the DiMarzio PAF 59
“A full sounding PAF style humbucker with an articulate treble attack, full bottom end, and smooth midrange… in double cream.”
